Yes on Both Counts Actually!

Sasuke Had showed off his new and Improved Chidori to Kakashi, who was very much impressed, so much so that he introduced Sasuke to the Old Pervy Sage, Jiraiya, one of Grandfather Hiruzen's Only Pupils, and one of the Few Shinobi Sages left in the World, apparently when Kakashi Told Jiraiya about the Gale-Style Chidori, the Old Sage expressed Great interest in seeing it himself.

Which was how it came to be that He was showing Jiraiya his New and Very Supercharged Chidori. ''Alright Here goes! Gale-Style: Chidori!'' Says Sasuke (he may as well have Used A blue Version of the Pokemon Pikachu's Electroball Move in his hand!). And thrusts it straight into the Side of a Rocky slope with Shatters upon Impact. ''Very Interesting Kid, You Really Are The Old Man's Grandson You Know That? You Might Even Be Able To Master The Rasengan. In any Case You'll be Training with Me from This Point On Kid, Come On Then.'' Says The Old Frog Sage as He Leaves and Kakashi Nods towards Sasuke and he Reluctantly Follows the Sage.

(Three Weeks Later)

Sasuke returned to The Hidden Leaf Village After Three Weeks of Training with the Pervy Frog Sage. After A couple days perving, It took Sasuke insulting his Grandfather to get the Sage to get serious. Apparently it was a touchy subject to the Pervy Frog. And within two Days He Had The Rasengan Down pat, so to speak. He'd Already Begun Training to Add His Various Chakra Nature's to its Power. But he was taking his Time. Jiraiya Had Also Arranged for Him a Summoning Contract With the Toads Gamatatsu, Gamakichi, and Gamabunta. Lately though he'd been Realising how things had changed and Decided that he wanted to "Get Back Into The Game". So he went to Tsunade, and after a Literal Double knockout, some Sake and Cards, she agreed. Though admittedly it was pretty infuriating that she'd Granted Him Chūnin Rank only to **** upon him responsibility for some New Genin.

Amongst his Little Team of Idiots were Kota Aburame, a User of the Kochū, Kidaichū, and Shõkaichū Insects. Then Came Hanabi Hyūga, Younger Sister of Hinata. And Finally Shimaru Nara, a Young Prodigy of the Shadow Paralysis Jutsu. He Let Them Know Very Early on He wouldn't put up with any Idiocy or Antics and any such actions would result on Severe Disciplinary Action. Luckily they were receptive to his words od warning, for now. Sasuke Had Remembered their initial Time Together Clearly.

(Memory 1: 5 Weeks Earlier, Training Field)

Sasuke Stood Leaning against A Tree writing in His Little Black Book that he Took Up Writing in. He was Awaiting his Squad of Genin. Suddenly His Quill went Dry and He Dipped it in his Mouth and then went about Writing anew. Though Strange to Some, He was A Jinchūriki for The Eight-Tails, and a Common Trait of Such Jinchūriki was to Produce Ink from their Mouths. He Heard a Throat Cleared and Looked Down to see a Young Girl With Lavender Eyes, a Kid with Clothing not so dissimilar to Shino's, and A Young Girl who looked like a Gender-Switched Shikamaru. ''Hello, Let's Get Down To It, We'll Start With Shinobi Sparring, of A Kind. I want Each of You To Come At Me and Try, Try to land a Solid Blow. If You Succeed I Will Begin to Train You more Appropriately. If Not, well You'll have the Chance to prove me Wrong on A Mission. You May Begin.'' Says Sasuke as He Begins to Close His Book Hanabi Is The First to Attack.

Sasuke Blocks The Strike With Ease Before he Uses the Body Flicker Technique to get Behind Hanabi and Brand her with his Own Flying Thunder God Sealing Formulae. As Hanabi Tries To Rebound With a Roundhouse Kick, But Sasuke Switches Places With Kota. He Chuckles Slightly before Taking Two Steps Forward and coming to a Halt. ''Figured You'd Attempt Something Like This.'' Says Sasuke as Shimaru Smirks in triumph as his Shadow Paralysis Jutsu has seemingly locked him in Place. ''Now Your Mine!'' Says Hanabi as She Tries to Strike Him while He's Locked down through his Shadow. ''Boring.'' Says Sasuke as He Activates his Eight-Tails Chakra Mode which Sends Hanabi Flying and Breaks The Shadow Paralysis Jutsu locking him in place. Suddenly Sasuke remembers that He's facing Three People and not Two but there is a Worm on his Wrist. ''Well Played Kota, you used the others as a Distraction while you marked me with your Kochū. I Yield Then.'' Says Sasuke as He flicks the Kochū off his wrist. ''Lets Get Going, We've got to report to The Hokage for Our First Mission........'' Says Sasuke.
